Vine Cord Sandals
Vine Cord Sandals are an Event Moderator item that was given out on the [insert name here] shard. Because of the modifications, they were subject to massive duping. Today, they are quite rare. A pair was offered for sale in early 2008 for $450 U.S.
Controversy
Initially there was only one pair of sandals. Unfortunatly a player with evil intentions got hold of the only pair and proceeded to dupe them. Other unscrupulous players bought those sandals and duped them. Eventually there were at least a couple dozen in existence.
Players were quite vocal about their existence. For one, they gave quite an advantage having 20 total resistances in an equipment slot that usually carries none. There was also the duping aspect and how people were profiting from their sale. During Publish 52 the developers secretly put and end to it all. Vine Cord Sandals will now lose all special properties if moved or worn. There are none known to exist anymore, including the original pair. The official announcement can be found here on the UO website.

Notes
While the sandals have the Item Property of Self Repair, they have no Durability attribute so the Self Repair is redundant.
